**** it, Robinson gloves reverse sweep behind off Jadeja. Great knock, 347-8. Time for Joe to cut loose with only Bashir and Jimmy left
 
Ffs Bashir slogs one straight up in the air for a simple catch. Why did Root take the single ? Surely Root is better equipped to launch an assault. 349-9
 
Had India totally limp in the field before this over, just grind them into the dirt while you can. Dopey shots have given them a lift again and stopped our momentum

What on earth was Jimmy doing there ? Gone plumb Lbw leaving Root high and dry. 353 all out. Have to make the most of the new ball and make early inroads, and get Jaiswal early ffs
 
Got to say the wicket looked pretty decent in that first hour, with only a couple of balls keeping low. We need it to deteriorate quickly here and need to bowl well. Come on England, nip a few out early doors !
 
Ffs Jaiswal edges Robinson just short if a diving Crawley and away for 4. He's the prize wicket , and we need something to go to hand to get rid of him
 
Jimmy overpitches twice and Jaiswal nails them both ffs. Ffs we gotta get this twat out soon before he smashes another huge score. Our bowlers look scared to bowl to him ! Where's Broad when you need a leftie removed sharpish ?
 
Ffs this is poor bowling, so many balls on Leg stump to Jaiswal and he's just dispatching them all for 4 ! ****ing clueless. 4th stump line over and over again you twats. This guy is just gonna kill us again and again. Wasted 10 overs after getting Sharma out, wicket not misbehaving at all ! If we keep bowling like that after lunch Jaiswal will get another huge score and 353 ain't gonna be nearly enough. Wisen up you dopey ****ers
 
England not bowling well.
Also, I had a disturbed night, so put the cricket on and England had India completely under the cosh.
Robinson was playing well and Root looked secure. The Indians looked really down, so what do England do?
That's right.....throw away their last 3 wickets.
Robinson in particular was an idiot, playing that reverse sweep, when so well set.
They'll never learn.
 
Great stuff from Bashir, although he won't always get a wicket like this to bowl on.
We simply must get a lead of at least 100 now. Then we'll be right in the driving seat.
Let them creep up towards 300 and it's all to play for imo.
